Google Store now sells individual Pixel Buds, saving you from yourself

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• The Google Store now sells single earbuds, replacement eartips, and charging cases for the Pixel Buds Pro 2 and Buds 2a.
• A single earbud costs $55 to $70; a case costs $55 to $90. Eartips are $20.
• Replacements were previously available through a self-service support tool.

Google’s been working to gradually make its hardware products a little less wasteful: its latest Pixel 10 is more repairable than previous models, and after three generations of smartwatches that more or less couldn’t be repaired at all, Pixel Watch 4 repairs can even be done at home.

Tiny earbuds are a little trickier to service, but Google’s taken a step to make sure you don’t have to throw out a whole set of Pixel Buds if you lose any individual piece of it. 9to5Google has spotted that replacement parts for Pixel Buds Pro 2 and Pixel Buds 2a are now available on the Google Store, replacing a more cumbersome self-service support form.
